Comparison Novec 1230 Vs FM 200

The document compares FM 200 and Novec 1230 fire suppression agents, highlighting key differences in chemical properties, environmental impact, and operational efficiency. FM 200 has a higher global warming potential and longer atmospheric lifetime, while Novec 1230 is easier to refill on-site and has a significantly lower environmental impact. Both agents are UL listed, but Novec 1230 offers a warranty and requires less floor space for installation.
